Louis/Dressner Wines Get Big Points in Wine Spectator!

Yesterday, the New York Times rated two of our Muscadets as the top two Muscadets available. Of the top 10 Muscadets notated, five of them were from our firm.

Today, The Wine Spectator Insider issue was released on the internet. This is a private subscription service which gives a preview of top reviews which will go into future issues of the Wine Spectator.

Our wines received -- 93 points (and the Hot Wines Selection), 92 points (two of our wines), 91 points (3 of them) and 90 points (two of them). All these wines are from the Loire Valley and these are very high scores for Loire wines.

Some of the wines are bony, some have chives, some have sweet peas, and some have cocoa. Others have lemon curd or chamomile or mango or papaya. Yet others have toast and mocha. The highest scoring wine (the Hot Wines Selection) has a beam of green almond, fig pear tartine and green tea.

We're very appreciative of these high scores as are the vignerons who worked so hard to achieve them.

A bony wine?

That's a new one for me. I wonder if that means it's good with osso buco ...

Was going to ask the same thing >>>>>> What exactly is a "bony" wine? Inquiring minds want to know.

Most people use " dry bone" to describ a Muscadet, those are the one who never had Marco's and Pierre Luneau's wines

Ahh, the hyperbole of wine critics. Makes you proud to be an American.

BONEY MARONEY

Sha Na Na


I got a girl name of Boney Maroney
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Oughta see her rock'n'roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bo-o-one

But I love her, she loves me
Oh how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree

Well I told her mother and her father too
Just exactly what I wanna do
I wanna get married on a night in June
And rock and roll
By the light of the silvery moo-oo-oon

'Cause I love her, she loves me
Oh how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree

Woh-oh right
Oh!
Oh yeah
Ooh!
Wooh - hah

She's my one and only, she's my heart's desire
She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire
Everybody turns when my baby goes by-y
She's something to see
She really catches the eye-eye-eye

That's why I love her, she loves me
Oh how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree
